Odin and I had our 2nd weekend in a row, where staying home, relaxing and doing nothing was an option!! So, of course, we enjoyed every minute of it.
Even Scardey Cat enjoyed the down time...
Today, it actually warmed up above zero and then above 20 degrees!! So, we headed outside for some fun in the snow. Here's our little house!
My ever curious pony! "What's going on, guys?" He loves to stick his head through the top of the gate. I don't know why.
Calli would not be left out of the action!
Now there are two Nosey Nelda's!
Isn't it cool? The camera caught their breath!
Calli found a nice nest!
Odin decided to get out the 4 wheeler and see what kind of fun, or I mean trouble, we could get into.
It didn't take too long. Its good in snow, but once the snow is above the frame, it gets just as high centered as anything else!
We finally got the 4 wheeler out in the pasture, but not very far. Luna and Rio had to come out and watch. I can just imagine what was going through their minds.
A couple of nights ago, I went to feed the horses and Luna seemed to have frozen her lips together. I've never heard of that before, EVER, but all Odin and I can figure is that she was trying to get at grass underneath the snow, but instead of digging for it, like a normal horse would do, she just decided to stick her nose in the snow and froze her lips together. She is no worse for wear and today, she seemed to have the digging first, part down!
Odin and I finally got the 4 wheeler unstuck and took it to the drive way, hooked up an old vehicle hood to it and took turns dragging each other around. Who thought an old hood could be so much fun!
Calli is ready to go. That is her "spot" on the 4 wheeler!
Calli even went for part of a ride.
Of course, our fun ended with a few chores.
Man, Calli had a good idea. The hay was pretty warm.
These are pictures from yesterday. It snowed pretty good!
Odin and Calli hanging out on the bale.
Luna is still taller in the hips than the withers, but she's growing really well. She's got a little extra weight and a REALLY thick coat to get her through the winter! I think her withers will grow soon enough.
Ever inquisitive, she found my water hose to fill their trough and had to investigate!
Well, it sounds like we are still in for lots more cold and snow! Stay warm, wear lots of layers and don't run out of hot chocolate!!
